Thank you for all the effort you're all making to help me. I really appreciate it.
Not sure what other aspect of this might be relevant, sorry. I'm just simply trying to do a save and it doesn't work, but here it is in finer detail:
In PowerDirector 16, there is s dropdown called Edit Audio. I clicked on that. There is one option: Wave Editor. I clicked on that. I edited the audio. Then I clicked on File, Save Track As, provided a name and location and accepted the mp3 format default. I then clicked the Save button. A progress bar appeared and half way through it vanished. I checked the disk location and noticed that my mp3 file did not save. I have done this a number of times now to different locations. The save never succeeds.
My original claim that I had just installed it was incorrect.
OK, so wav worked! Thanks! I wish mp3 worked, though, but at least I can get somewhere now. Still interested in any insights about mp3 if anyone has them; other than that, thanks for the help!

You've given us almost no information to help understand what might possibly be going on, so tomasc looked into your past posts to try and glean some of the missing details.
If you've had a situation where Wave Editor was previously missing, it's a fair question to ask how you managed to get it installed now, as that may have something to do with why you can't save the audio. Another simple test would be to try saving the same clip as .WAV or any other format.
If that doesn't work, it might help to check and see whether you can successfully edit & save the audio with WE using one of the sample clips that comes with PD, like skateboard.mp4.
The more details and steps you can provide, the greater the chances that we can help you out.

In the past you always posted in the PowerDirector previous version forum. This time you posted in the AudioDirector forum saying that you just installed WaveEditor which should already be with every previous version of PD a long time ago.
If you really installed WaveEditor just now then please explain why you did not install it previously. You may nave to uninstall everything and start over again.
Let us know if you are using WaveEditor inside PD or as a standalone. It can make a difference. File type? save as type???
Thank you for my posting history.
I'm actually using what came up on PD16. File/Save Track As. It defaults to mp3 which I accepted.

It seems to abort the save when the progress bar is just shy of 50%. I just installed it and it doesn't save. LOL

I'm creating a scuba diving video that starts with a descent along a rope. I'd like to show numbers indicating depths moving by as we descend. I can use motion tracking to keep the numbers "pinned" to locations along the rope, but what i don't know how to do is make the depth numbers get bigger as we approach and pass them. Can anyone please help me understand how to do that part?
Thanks for your help

Does it pop only in preview or does it still pop when you produce the video?
Doesn't do it when produced! Problem solved. Thank you!

I have an audio track of footsteps through the woods. At one point, there's a rooster crowing in the background. To get rid of the rooster, I lowered the volume of that stretch to zero, then I cut a piece of audio with just the footsteps and put it on another track just under the zero volume stretch of the first track. Works beautifully except that there's a little pop, crackle, click, call it what you will, when the cut audio with just the footsteps is reached and when it ends. I've tried moving it left, right, a little, a lot, stretching it out to overlap with the main audio, shrinking it... nothing I seem to do works.
I also used another approach: Instead of lowering the volume of that stretch, I cut it out and replaced it with the footsteps-only snippet. No good. Still pops. So, I crossfaded it with the main audio. Still no good. Still pops.
Exhasperating. Has anyone encountered this and found a solution?
Thank you

Hi. I've watched several videos on YouTube that refer to features I do not have in my Powerdirector 15 for doing vertically scrolling text. Can someone please help me understand what's going on? How do you do vertically scrolling text?? (Can't help wondering why such a seemingly basic function is not readily available...)
Thank you.

I have noticed when I edit certain videos, that a phantom type of thing occurs. It goes like this:
A clip that does X is removed. I then put another clip where the old one was, but when I play the video, it does X (what the removed clip did!) instead of what the new clip does.
I've noticed this behavior even if I do not insert the new clip and leave that segment blank. It continues to play the old clip.
What's going on?
Thanks

LOL. I never complained about a learning curve nor do I believe that your ability or lack thereof to understand what "my problem is" is any prerequisite to anything. But I will say this: It looks like both you and I are struggling to understand something we don't understand. Me the software, and you "my problem" with it. The difference is that this forum is designed for the type of thing I don't understand while it is an innapropriate forum for your struggles.
Best of luck keeping things straight in your mind.

Hi,
Please see attached photo and let me know if that helps.
David
Ah! Thank you so much. Very helpful.

Yes, I had meant, where in the Transition room? I believe I've searched everywhere; obviously I'm missing something. Thanks again.

Hi Peter,
I see what you mean. But in this instance, instead of dragging the clip on the right (which moves the entire clip to the right) you are better to manually go into the Transition room and drag and drop the cross fade tranisition between the two clips instead. This will prevent that from happening.
David
Thanks, David. I can't find the crossfade transiion in there. Do you know what category it's under?

Let's say I've done some editing and I have a whole bunch of clips all crossfading with each other. Now I want to, let's say, delete a piece of a clip. I cut it in two places and delete the block in between, so now the crossfading there needs to be put back together; either there's a gap or they're right next to each other depending on how I do the delete. So I grab the clip on the right and overlap it with the one on the left and select crossfade. That should be the end of it, but the nightmare has just begun. When I pulled that clip on the right side to the left, it undid the crossfade with the next clip. If I fix that, then the crossfade with the next clip after that one is now undone. And so on. I've tried to select all the clips to the right, but then the option to crossfade doesn't appear in the popup. There's gotta be a better way. Can anyone please tell me what I'm missing?
Thanks
